Workers Comp in Airds — Where to Start
Injured at work? Here’s exactly what to do next.
Hospital shifts and checkout work around Airds cause different injuries to site work, and the same first step applies to all of them. Your employer cannot lodge anything until a doctor has examined you and written the Certificate of Capacity. Our doctors write and review it, and our physios handle patient-handling back injuries and the wear that builds up in bricklaying. Tell the doctor exactly what your job involves, since that shapes what the certificate says.

Workers Comp in Airds — How It Starts
See a WorkCover doctor
For kitchen burns, slip injuries, lifting strain, or repetitive-strain wrist issues, your first stop is a WorkCover-trained doctor.
Book a WorkCover doctor in AirdsGet your Certificate of Capacity
Your doctor issues this on the first visit. It’s the legal document that proves you have a work injury and tells the insurer how much you can work and what treatment you need. No paperwork on your end — the doctor handles it.
Notify your employer
You’re legally required to tell your employer about a work injury — a text or email is enough. Once they get your Certificate of Capacity, they pass it to their workers comp insurer. The claim opens, and wages and treatment get covered from that point.
